director of the millennium

Chapter 112: People are not frivolous and arrogant (please subscribe!)
A lounge in Disneyland.

"Hey Depp, long time no see!"

"KK, you look a lot more beautiful."

Wu Yuan smiled and opened his hands, hugging Depp and Keira Knightley who had just entered the door.

"Director, you're going back to Huaxia after filming this movie, we can't see you even if we want to." Depp patted Wu Yuan's back with his backhand, and teased with a smile.

Wu Yuan laughed and said: "Haha, it's okay. When the filming of the second part starts, we can see each other every day again."

However, his words did not resonate much, and Depp's expression became solemn.

"Director, do you think this movie will be a big hit at the box office?"

The closer it was to the release, the more pressure Depp felt.

This "Pirates of the Caribbean" is an absolute masterpiece, and the whole story revolves around the pirate Jack Sparrow.

If this movie is successful, then he will be the one who will benefit the most, and fame, status, and money will all flow in.

But once this movie fails, Depp will also fall into the abyss and become a "box office poison" and be shunned by Hollywood Capital.

This circle is so realistic, if you take one wrong step, you will be doomed, and Depp's pressure is almost overwhelming.

If the first one bombed at the box office, how could there be a second one?

"Don't worry, I'm very confident in the project "Pirates of the Caribbean", and Disney is also very confident." Wu Yuan comforted with a smile.

Perhaps at the beginning, Disney did not expect that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series would become one of the most successful series in Hollywood movies in the future.

But a week later, the road to the king of the series will begin.

Wu Yuan has seen the finished film. Although he did not participate in the final editing, soundtrack, etc., he also has the right to make suggestions for the final review.

After watching the finished film in advance, Wu Yuan felt that the effect of his version was quite good.

Although due to different directors, Wu Yuan's shot is still more delicate than the original version, but the whole story line has not changed at all.

The soundtrack is still Hans Zimmer's classic soundtrack.

In the absence of major changes, the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" can earn 6 million US dollars in the global box office, so of course Wu Yuan's version can also.

Maybe he will get better results, after all, he is much more famous than Gore Verbinski, at least in Europe and Asia, relying on his fame, he can sell more box office.

"Depp, don't worry, the director said it will be successful, so it will be successful." Keira Knightley also comforted.

17-year-old Keira Knightley, the main character is heartless.

Although she is the heroine, she doesn't feel that she can carry the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" at all, and there is no pressure at all.

To be able to act in such a big production is already a pie in the sky for her.

She should be the one with the most confidence in this movie among all the actors, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!
"What are you talking about?"

The lounge door was pushed open again, and Orlando walked in with Geoffrey Rush, who played Barbossa.

Jerry, who came in behind them, clapped his hands and shouted: "Everyone, the press conference is ready. It's time for you to go on stage and face the bombardment of reporters."

"Remember the script and answer sample that I showed you earlier."

"Especially KK, if the reporters ask some tough questions and you don't know how to answer them, don't speak up and let Depp answer for you."

Kayla nodded nervously.

"Very well, let's go!"

Everyone stood up and followed Jerry towards the decorated interview room.

"They're here!"

The side door of the interview room was opened, and Jerry and Wu Yuan led the creators into the interview room from the side passage.

Before they sat down, the reporters in the audience stood up impatiently, wanting to ask questions.

The staff who maintained the order at the scene had no choice but to pick up the microphone and emphasized again: "Mr. reporters, please interview one by one in an orderly manner, and don't fight for it?"

"This interview session has a full hour, I believe everyone will have the opportunity to ask questions."

After leading the main creators to sit down, Jerry didn't talk nonsense and gave the host a wink.

The host who received the wink immediately began to control the field.

"Mr. Reporter No. [-] in the second row, please ask questions first."

The reporter from "Los Angeles Entertainment News" stood up excitedly, turned the microphone to Wu Yuan who was sitting in the middle of the interview booth: "Director Wu, why did you accept this movie?"

"The pirate theme has not been successful for many years. Aren't you afraid that this movie will also fail?"

Currently, most media predict that "Pirates of the Caribbean" will be a failure, especially with such a large investment. Almost no media believes that the movie will return its money, let alone be a big hit.

"Others' failure doesn't mean I will fail too." Lowering the microphone, Wu Yuan said confidently: ""Pirates of the Caribbean" is a fantasy adventure movie, just like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but better than "Raiders of the Lost Ark". "More cool."

"When I saw the script, I agreed to take it without hesitation, because I believe this movie will be a success!"

"This is a fantastic fantasy blockbuster that is suitable for all ages!"

Another reporter stood up: "Then Director Wu, what is your expectation for the box office of this movie?"

"I think "Pirates of the Caribbean" will have a box office of more than 2 million in North America and a global box office of at least 5 million!"

The reporter's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "Dollars?"

"Of course." Wu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Could it be Japanese Yen or Vietnamese Dong?"

The reporters in the audience immediately started talking, and everyone was blushing and necking with excitement.

Unexpectedly!

Wu Yuan is such an arrogant director, I didn't realize it before!
Do you dare to shout out such achievements as 2 million box office in North America and [-] million global box office?

This is a pirate movie!
Hey, excited smiles appeared on the faces of the reporters at the scene. They just like this kind of director who dares to shoot, so this topic will come, and the headline will come!

Even Jerry in the interview booth was shocked by Wu Yuan's prediction.

In fact, Disney didn't dare to think so beautiful.

Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" project is to make "peripheral movies" for Disneyland.

It is to promote the fame and popularity of the Pirates of the Caribbean attractions in Disney Parks, and to sell more tickets.

Therefore, for Disney, the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is OK as long as it does not lose money, or even a small loss.

As the most proficient peripheral film company in the United States, they have many ways to make money back in the peripheral field.

Disney's internal expectation for this movie is only 3 million US dollars worldwide. If they can achieve such a result, they are willing to continue making sequels.

Now that Wu Yuan is so confident, if he shouts out that the box office is 5 million worldwide, isn't he afraid that the final box office will not even have half of it?

This group of reporters would laugh at him to death, and all kinds of mocking and ridiculing remarks would flock to Wu Yuan.

Jerry tugged at the hem of Wu Yuan's clothes, hoping that he would calm down.

However, Wu Yuan didn't care at all, and still said confidently: "[-] million US dollars is just the bottom line of my expectation. I believe the final box office result may be even higher!"

In the United States, Wu Yuan set himself up as a young and frivolous genius director!

Young people in their early 20s are not crazy, when will they be crazy?

He is not crazy, how can he conquer North American teenagers?

The next generation of the authentic Mi Ziqi, like this one!

In the North American entertainment industry, humility and kindness don't work well, they will only be looked down upon!
Wu Yuan's age is not suitable for taking this old man's route, so he has to be crazy and high-spirited!
As long as you have strength and crazy capital, you will only be loved by teenagers!
